Despite years of on-air experience, a couple of movies under his belt, and now hosting his very own successful late night talk show for more than a year, Jimmy Fallon is still incapable of performing in a comedy sketch without losing his shit.

To be fair though, they weren’t very GOOD movies.
I actually thought Fever Pitch was really cute and funny. Just sayin’.
I choose to defend myself against irritation by not watching Jimmy Fallon attempt to keep a straight face.
It wasn’t much of an attempt.
I watched this last night and laughed really hard, but I was also drunk. I really enjoy that Jimmy Fallon constantly loses his shit. I know he’s not supposed to and it’s bad acting form and all (hey, I put my improv games in high school on one leg at a time just like everyone else (what?)) but it cracks me up.
Unrelatedly, I hope you guys can make it out this weekend to see my band The Eddie Munster Love Connection.
Yeah I find it sweet how giggly he is and how much he loves what he does
I also like when he cracks up, b/c it cracks me up. It’s very charming, somehow.
I love when Jimmy loses his shit. I will never not love when comedians break. And I love when Will Ferrell is on Late Night because he NEVER breaks, but he does on Late Night and it always makes him seem more endearing to me, like he’s not some guy who makes trillions of dollars and is now a rich comedian asshole who is 2 kewl 2 laff.
Tracy Morgan is this close to bitch slapping all of you.
I liked Taxi….there I said it.
I never saw Taxi. But I did question a relationship I was in when the girl was SUPER EXCITED to see that movie, literally (!) to the point of jumping up and down, and saying without any irony, “Oh my god, Jimmy Fallon AND Queen Latifah, it’s going to be awesome!”
So what you’re saying jwormyk is that I should have married that girl.

Who’s John Stuart?

NICE BURRRRRRN!
The entertainers who are always laughing are often laughing because they are so wired and alert, usually as a result of nervousness and/or substances legal and/or illegal. That agitation naturally translates into giggling, often at what seems to be nothing in particular. If the outbursts appear fake, that’s likely the result of a medium that separates the audience from a performer who in person may well be impressively and genuinely manic.
Also, scientists have determined that it is impossible to get people to laugh at a thing just by laughing at it yourself. It is always more complicated than that.
Some other scientists have countered that conclusion by demonstrating that it is not always more complicated than that, at least 90% of the scientists
Steve, while I’m sure you could be right, I think there is something else going on, something you are I’m sure you know well. Sometimes, there are odd little jokes that amuse the person telling them way, way, way, more than the people hearing them. There’s never ever any reason behind it, it’s just they happened to really amuse themselves more than the audience. Like I said, I’m sure you know this well. Really, really well. It’s why I like you.
What? Why sad face? I’m serious. I’m not saying this is the type of thing where the joke fails because the person telling it finds it funnier, I’m saying that the person telling it knows they are going to find it funner than the audience, but tells it anyways, because they just enjoy it. I do it too. Like my lawnmower man joke here. No one seems to like it, but it kills me, and I’ll do it again and again.
Sounds like SOMEONE took the red pill!
I can relate to what you’re saying, “Steve Winwood”. I myself have found Jon Stewart’s cracking up unconvincing at times, although I generally sympathize with his way of setting up a joke. I feel it is more a question of wanting to see it this way or not. Like, once you realize it’s there you can’t go back?
I prefer to blissfully believe that even the most professional comedian, whose bread and butter it is to exploit every celebrity mishap / news item of relevance in want of a punch line, will sometimes be taken by surprise.
Past hope. Past kindness or consideration. Past justice. Past satisfaction. Past warmth or cold or comfort. Past love. But past surprise? What an endlessly unfolding tedium life would then become.
Jon Stewart’s cracking up in interviews often does seem fake to me too. But I think Fallon is naturally giggly (giggly?) and has a lot of nervous energy and him not being able to keep it together through a lot of sketches is for reals. Personally I find it distracting, not charming, but who cares what I think?
Did anyone else have to stop watching when they got to the meatballs?
YES. It’s just too, too disgusting.
I love sketches like that though, the ones that take chances. Like if you didn’t think mannequin arms are funny, then the whole thing is awful. At least it’s not headlines with Jay Leno.
I, for one, think mannequin arms are VERY FUNNY, so this sketch was a home run!

BOOOOOOOOOO
To be fair though, nobody laughed during his movies.
Man, this is like a weak paraphrase of my comment, which was already fairly weak on its own!
Yeah it was kind of a reply to your comment, but I have reply guilt, where I’m overparanoid about butting ahead of all the nice people that replied between your comment and mine.
This had my lolz in spades. Great sketch. Also, I love watching Fallon lose his shit during sketches. Especially with Ferrell just because you can see he knows Jimmy is about to lose it, and just eggs it on.
Fallon made Ferrell look like a paragon of professionalism.
[/alliteration]
This sketch felt very Tim and Eric – y to me. The hand dipping in all the meats reminded me a lot of Gravy Robbers and Cigarette Juice….
I don’t think the “Cowbell” sketch would have been half as funny if Fallon had not cracked up. Ditto for most of the “Luvah” hot tob sketches.
Whenever I think of Mr Fallon, I’m always reminded of that old Simpsons gag:
Marge: What are you kids laughing at?
Bart/Lisa: Uh, Jimmy Fallon.
Marge: Well now I know that’s not true.
And scene.
Canada! I want to watch it but I live in Canada! Why does the internet hate me?!
Notice that whenever Fallon has been funny the one constant has been Will Ferrell
